It's as strong as a liqueur, and not carbonated at all.
... unless you add Prosecco and a dash of worcester sauce to recreate a 1720's style Porter.

1) Thirty seconds of a mellow guitar approximation of "When the Saints Go Marching In."
2) "WE ARE EXPERIENCING HIGHER THAN EXPECTED CALL VOLUMES. PLEASE CONTINUE TO HOLD."
3) Repeat ad absurdum.

I don’t care what the U.N. says, I don’t recognize countries that don’t produce beer.

I spoke too soon! Just got through the system. All the while, I was praying the call wouldn't be dropped.
I actually called through Google Talk, so I could do other stuff while I had a headset on. It took 20 minutes of holding. Best of luck!

Just got into the system after 20 mins of busy signals, hopefully this means I've got only 20 more minutes of muzak and 'We are experiencing higher than expected call volumes'

Well, I lucked out last year with the lottery, but no go this year. Finally goth through at 9:45, was on hold until 9:58 and was told I missed the last one by about a minute. Damn.
